Airtel Payments Bank introduced a new smartwatch in collaboration with Noise and NPCI at the Global Fintech Fest 2024. This innovative device features an integrated RuPay chip, allowing users to make contactless payments directly from their wrist. It also offers a range of health and fitness monitoring features, making it a convenient and versatile wearable. The launch of this smartwatch comes shortly after Airtel's decision to discontinue its Wynk Music streaming service in favor of new bundle packs offering Apple TV+ and Apple Music. This strategic move aligns with Airtel's efforts to expand its digital services and provide customers with a more comprehensive range of entertainment options.
